Platts to end Caribs-Japan 30kt assessment

Platts proposes to discontinue its Caribbean to Japan 30kt clean tanker freight lumpsum assessments.

These assessments have reflected a flow of products from the Caribbean to Japan. However, this no longer reflects an actively traded flow on this size cargo.

These rates are published in Clean Tankerwire and on Platts Global Alert page 558.

Platts proposes to discontinue this assessment on August 1, 2012.

This cover assessment codes:

PFACE10 - 30kt Caribs - Japan Lumpsum assessment PFACE03 - 30kt Caribs -Japan Lumpsum monthly average TCACM00 - 30kt Caribs -Japan $/mt TCACM03 - 30kt Caribs -Japan $/mt monthly average
